JACKSON, Miss. (Interstat) — The New Orleans Privateers used a combined six-hit shutout from seven pitchers to blank the Jackson State Tigers 7-0 in a nonconference baseball game Tuesday afternoon at Braddy Field.

Eli Tidwell led the Privateers’ offense, going 2 for 5 with a double, a triple and two RBIs. All seven New Orleans runs came in the fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth innings, with five being unearned due to four Jackson State errors.

The Privateer bullpen was flawless after the fourth, with Reid Leonard, Skylar Jones, Tyler Velino, Gus Rogers, Luke Lycette and Cortland Clarke combining for 8 2/3 scoreless innings of two-hit relief. Manuel Toro provided three scoreless innings for Jackson State in the loss.

New Orleans improved to 11-16. Jackson State fell to 10-13.
